Strategy notes
Deception Environment Design develops the Sensing discipline within Security State. Protect strategic projects with layered verification, counter-surveillance, resilient automation, and rapid incident recovery. Its immediate value is +5% sensing range. The principal counterpressure is that the system consumes money and attention, and rivals can force it to overreact while competing through conventional power.
Player hints
This is a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. Favor this technology when its Sensing benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
